RE: [OpenSTA-devel] Re: Platform SDK

[Wickersham, P. <Pet...@di...>]

Ok, I have finally built the entire source, created an installation kit,
installed and run a test.

I ended up ditching the most recent Platform SDK and going with the
February 2003 Platform SDK edition since that is what MSDN said was
supported for VC 6.0. I did that before your last email on working
around the linking issue, so I didn't give that a try.=20

I did use STLPort 4.6.2 with the _STLP_NEW_PLATFORM_SDK defined in the
stl_user_config.h header file.=20

Other than the Platform SDK and STLPort, I used all the other
recommended versions. This is with VC 6.0 SP6. The only issue with
STLPort that I saw was in OmniOrb in 3 files WRT iostreams. In the end,
I just directly modified the OmniOrb source to do the standard includes
and namespace declaration. The 3 files were:

appl/omniNames/log.h
appl/omniNames/log.cc
appl/omniMapper/omniMapper.cc

The only other change that I recall had to do with the installation
project because I had to add the new version of the STL dll.

Using the latest STLport could be trouble - although I haven't tried
doing this in a while now and maybe they've fixed some things.
Please report back on this.

There's a mail from me in the archives from back last June 19th that
discusses a few of the issues I was having.  I'd love to post a link
but the SF archives seem to be "sleeping" at the moment.  The same
mail mentions the below issue ...

It just took me an age to work out what I did to fix this ...
What you need to do is make the earlier HtmlHelp library and include
dirs come before the Platform SDK dirs in your VS6 "Options >
Directories" dialog.  The earlier HtmlHelp stuff should come from
your "HTML Help Workshop" installation.  At least that is what I did.

This link has another idea which I haven't tried:

Keep us informed with how you get on,
